M.— The New York Times telegraphs that Cleveland has carried New York Stato by 2,000 majority, Barnum has telegraphed ail the State committees to shoot their guns lor Cleveland, that he was elected and would take his scat.

New York Nov. 6.—New York gives small plurality, but a safe one for Cleveland. New Jersey and Connecticut are both certainly democratic. Colonel! Vilas tele graphs that Wisconsin is also for Cleveland. Tub World New York, Nov. 5 The E,ve- ning Post bulletin states that 1,580 districts in the stato, outside of New York and Kings county, show a Democratic gain of 12,068. The Herald bulletin is now being heard from and continues to show Demo cratic gains sufficient to give tbe state to Cleveland. The Times bulletins say Virginia is Demo cratic by 5,000 majority. Believe no more Western Union or Associ ated Press dispatches. Tlieg are all false. 7 p. m.—To Thu Constitution: I have just visited the democratic headquarters. They are firm in the belief of Cleveland’s election. The Times and Herald have Just posted bulletins claiming Cleve land 's election. The Times warns all parties not to bclievo Associat ed press and other reports in favor of Blaine. • W. A. U. Chicago, Nov. 5.—To the Con stitution : If the present ratio of Democratic gains in one-lhir< the State is maintained, the Democrats will carry it by ten thousand.

Returns received from nearly half of state arc rather fa vorable to the republicans, and would indicate a plurality for them of over 2,000 Nov. 6, 2.45 p. M.—751 voting places show net republican gain of 5,317. Nov. 6, 3 P. M.—Regular returns by precincts oontinne to show av erage republican gains sufficient to give them the stato by small ma jority; but democratic committee has advices showing large demo cratic gains in districts not report ed.

M.—Returns received up to this time which in clode complete returns of Detroit and Grand Rapids give Blaine majority of 2,000.

They Here Tied Tea Seen. Pioneer Free* There is a kid in St. Paul that should be killed. Last Sunday evening he crawled unde; the sofa, and when his big sister and her best young man were sitting aa c'ose together as possible, rigged a slip-knot around their feet, when tho old gent came into tbe parlor to look for bis oigar stub they thought they would occupy separ ate pews. The young man fell over the center-tahle,and Mery Ann eat down upon the floor with a two hundred to the square lneh con cussion that dislocated her adjusta ble bangs. Tbe old gent thought that TlAdoIphus was drunk, and bit him with his cane sixteen times before ho could tie himself loose and fall out of the window. The match is deelsred off. The Horse Belonged to the Republic. From tho Memoir* of an ex»Miniat*r. Louis Napoleon invited me to drive with him at St. Cloud and see the hones, which I did. Among tbe horses was a splendid dark chestnut, which the stud groom, an Englishman, led out to show me. The President, after admiring him much,ordered tbe man to send him to his stable at Paris. "I can’t do that, sir,” he replied, “the horse belongs to the repubiio.’’ As we were sitting in the phreton, Louis jogged my arm and observed, “You see my position; it is time to pat an end to it.” Driving home, he made no secret of bis intention of being beforehand with bis enemies, and there was no mistaking the means tie would take to be so. Washington, Nov. 6, 1:46 p. M. Hon. C. F. Crisp—Accept my congratulations. Cleveland is elect ed beyond a doubt. Office-holders arc sore. Albert Drane. MRS. FRED LEWIS ’.iABSBTS *1,100.070.

Old Madeira wine hae always been very popular in Washington, especially on tbe tables of their The annual report of tbe comp troller of Texas shows that the lono star State continues to grow rapidly. The increase in taxable property over last year’s assess ment is |63,000,000. It is now (583,000,000 against (311,000,000 lour years ago. Population also keeps pace with the increase in wsnllii. The population to-day is 2,215,709, an increase of 628,964 in four years, or over 155,000 pe* annum. If this rate of increase continues Texas will, by tbe next census, have a population of 8,200,- 000. The tax books do not show half tbe real wealth of the State. The railroads are assessed at (40,000,000, when they are worth (200,000,000. The Stato own* (100,000,060 worth of property which is not assessed. It is worth noting that all this progress has occurred under Democratic rule. The question of tbe death of Strang, the cadet at Annapolis who was rolled in a barrel by a party of imzcrs, is to be brought into court. His family, having inveatl- gated tho matter, believe that cer tain of tho Imzcrs canheconvloted, and if so, their punishment will not be light. Should some of the refractory hazing cadets be sent enced to prison lor manslaughter it is probable that the Annapolis Academy would no longer be troubled with hazing; but it epeakt ill for the discipline of that insti tution that tbe persons in oharge ofit arc powerless or unwilling to put down hazing of their own ac cord. Whether such “accidenta" ns the death of Strang be due to incompetence or negligence, tbe authorities of tho Academy are equally blame worthy. Beau Hickman, as ho called him self. made bis appearance at Wash ington towards the close of the Tyler administration. He was of middle size, with long hair and an inofTonsive, cadaverous counten ance. It was his boast that be was horn among the slashes of Han over county, Vs., and he was to be seen lounging about tbe hotels, fashionably, yet shabbily, dressed, generally wearing soiled white kid gloves and a while cravat. It was considered tbe proper thing to la- troduce strangers to the Beau, who thereupon unhlusbingly demanded his initiation fee, and bis impu dence sometimes secured him a generous sum.
